Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) fired back on Saturday after Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump launched a lengthy, furious tweetstorm at him. Cruz reportedly suggested that Trump´s attacks came in response to a new poll that showed him losing in a head-to-head competition with the senator. "That has got to drive him nuts, and I imagine it sent him out of bed this morning tweeting and tweeting and tweeting," Cruz said, according to The Texas Tribune and other outlets. Cruz then reportedly said Trump´s behavior wouldn´t be appropriate for a "commander in chief."

Yes, but she was naturalized as a US citizen before Donald was born.
It’s more along the lines of a teenage girl.
Tweets are so manly...
I hate to ask...but what did he do in college?!!
“Trumps mother was from Scotland.”
So were some of my ancestors, along with millions of other Americans.
“Being a Canadian citizen until you are over 40 is not presidential either.”
That is very good.
“Tweets are so manly...”
Care to explain how a tweet differs from what you just posted?
Ted is as solid as ice on a January day in Calgary, eh?
I reckon there are 20 million of us who after yesterday want zero to do with DT. Glad he went unglued now instead of later. Now we have to help Cruz pick a REALLY good VP.
“Cruz then reportedly said Trumpôs behavior wouldnôt be appropriate for a “commander in chief.”
But insulting a whole state is. LOL!
Oh that ain't nothing! wait till he gets his panties in a wad and does this kind of crap to Putin, or any other head of state... Real presidential. What an embarrassment that anyone would even consider this loudmouth for any office.
“More and more I am thinking the Founders had the right idea when they restricted the people who could run for President to citizens born on US Soil to parents, both of whom had allegiance to no other sovereignty.”
So Trump can be president, but his own kids can’t?
“Nothing about Trump is presidential. Heâs an arrogant, abusive loud mouth Heâs an emotionally immature, naive (at best) dolt. A super rich one, but still a dolt. His gushing over Putin is just one of many indications that he isnât fit for the job.”
Another Trollish post - and, golly, look at that, it comes from a supposed Cruz fan.
I’d love it if someone counted the number of insults thrown around on this board lately, both towards the candidates and people who support them. I’m biased, I admit, but it seems to me it’s only the self-professed Cruz fans who regularly insult Trump and anyone who believes in him. Without, of course, EVER bothering to explain what, exactly, they like about the guy they purport to like.
Sounds like another group of political junkies I can think of - except at least they’re honest enough to admit they’re Democrats.
In the old America, where decorum and values mattered, that likely would have been true.
HOWEVER, we no longer live in that America. We now live in an Idiocracy, the “Fundamentally-transformed” Amerika.
So define what is “Presidential”, after the last 8 years?
Obama has “governed” by Executive Order.
Would a President Trump govern by tweet?
Ted wishes he had 5.7M Twitter followers. For better or worse, this is the next wave in the way campaigns will be conducted and Trump owns social media. Trump averages about 3,000 retweets on every post. I’m sure some mathemetician could figure out the audience that eventually sees the message, but it’s probably in the 10M range with retweet after retweet. And it’s all free.

Absolutely...well said! Don’t forget Trump’s scary debate answer about the nucular triad...That falls under the naive dolt category; his answer should frighten every primary voter! The Hildabeast is already producing a campaign commercial with Trumps finger on the button!
I would rather be allies with Russia than some of the Euro countries importing rape and pedo culture.
The GOP establishment seems to be encouraging Trump’s nasty rants against Cruz. I think that the plan is to have Trump kill off Cruz and watch Trump kill off Conservative support for himself at the same time, leaving Marco Rubio as the only choice.
